One other quick thought on making bridges lighter - has anyone tried orienting the fabric on the bias, at 45 degrees? It might be a bit more comfortable as I imagine it will stretch and conform to your body a bit more, of you're not using an inflatable pad. More importantly, it will load both warp and weft fibers; with warp fibers oriented head to toe, they don't see much load so there's some dead weight there. Another way to approach this inefficiency would be lower denier warp than weft.
